i laughed so hard at some of the comments you made.
"put a cape on the subject, then immediately rip it off and throw it aside. that stuff is for girls."

this can't be a mohawk can it? mohawks are at least 1inch thick and don't taper to a point (that is if im right) and mohekans ar thinner and taper to a point

I cut/coloured/maintained this guys hair for a couple of years until he decided to start fresh. (Punk Parlor is just what friends referred to my living space as because that's where I did hair.)

son...i am disappoint
veggiepunk says: Aug 16, 2009. 12:56 PM
nice. use bobbles, and shave down the sides, next time cut it a little wider and you should have more surport to get a big PHat mohawk backcomb the hell out of it and water down some woodglue/pva glue depending on how much you use it can lasts for days, use a comb to "fan" if you still struggle to keep it up use an iron/straightners/hairdryer with your head between your legs lol

Nice hair dude :) Careful with skinheads though. I almost got beaten to death by them because I had long hair, I can't imagine what they would have done to me if I had a mohawk ;(
darby0malley says: Aug 4, 2009. 12:10 AM
probably nothing. a hawk is better than being a hair-farmer

Way to go Frank, I couldn't have done it better. It's a tricky haircut. Muriel

an old skool punk friend used to use soap, lather it up good, and rub it through, then dry in place

Yay for hair cement!
fatguy (author) says: Jul 9, 2009. 2:16 PM

hellstudios says: Jul 6, 2009. 9:08 PM
I used to have a mohawk until it got so long that it just flopped over into a manson style doo......making me look gothic... that was when I decided to grow long hair.
jakee117 says: Jul 7, 2009. 3:16 AM
mine did that, I had one for like a week...it was too long...and red :D
jakee117 says: Jul 7, 2009. 3:20 AM
there we go...that was an interesting week, cause my hair used to be like the other pic
